Three Days with a Phone

I just received a prototype of the SonyEricsson C905. With its 8MP and good optics, it is definitely a worthy candidate to become the king of Mobile Cameras.

Here are samples of photos I took with the SonyEricsson C905.

Photos taken with the C905 zoom:

This is quite impressive given that the buildings are located about 2 miles away…

Few initial observations:

1. The C905 produces sharp and balanced photos in daylight, especially if you set the white balancing settings manually to daylight. however, in some cases the white balancing was not accurate even with manual settings especially in low light or where there is a dominant color in the photo. This problem may be related to the specific phone I have since it is a pre-production unit.
2. The level of details in the photos is really nice - not such a huge surprise given the 8MP sensor but still…
3. Optics is very nice and the zoom works quite nicely. Sure, it is not SLR grade, but as a replacement to most point-and-shoot cameras it is really good.
